Drifting into the Solid Body region of the Green Swamp

Hello, it's been a while since I've posted on CBN.

Recently I've been focusing on solid body instruments, and this one just might inspire you to greater levels.

This is a 26" Baritone Stick Dulcimer, with two pickups and some insane wiring, including a "Psycho Knob" Overdrive mod.
